Uprating front suspension bushes

[Flygirl]

More Questions.....sorry!

All front suspension bushes are perished on our V8S & are going to be replaced. should we use standard bushes or uprated ones (eg. Powerflex?)

What are the up/down sides of both eg. Noise transmission?

Polly bushes seem to take the heat better than the original rubber. They come in various grades, and you want to go for a fairly hard grade. If you buy through a TVR specialist, it may cost a little more but you know you will get the right grade and size. Mine were supplied and fitted by Tower View 0208 452 6922

In your experience do these polly bushes substantially increase the amount of noise/vibration comming through the chassis?

Not in my experience.

Hi there welcome to the forum. My V8S was fitted with poly bushes by RT racing in Sheffield. The result was very good and stopped that strange wandering feeling, I do recommmend probably before the Big Brake project.

More importantly - get out and enjoy the damn thing !!!, mines off the road and I miss it greatly
